Therefore, a DC motor, otherwise a DC generator, can be generally called a DC machine. Except in
small machines its value is usually less than 1. DC Generator. Whenever a conductor is moved within
a magnetic field in such a way that the conductor cuts across magnetic lines of flux, voltage is
generated in the conductor. The curve shown below gives the variation of no-load voltage with the
fixed field resistance and the variable speed of the armature. Father of Generator Michael Faraday
invented Generators which work on the principal of electromotive force. The commutator segments
are insulated from each other and the shaft. Electrical Generator was invented by Michael Faraday

FYP Progress Presentation. The energy conversion in a generator from mechanical energy to
electrical energy is based on the principle of the production of dynamically induced electromotive
force (e.m.f). Whenever a conductor cuts magnetic flux, dynamically induced e.m.f is produced in it
according to Faraday’s Laws of Electromagnetic Induction. This e.m.f causes a current to flow if the
conductor circuit is closed. Number of tappings for each equalizer ring is equal to A) number of

So let us tell you that DC generator works on the basis of this Faraday’s law of electromagnetic
induction. How It Works. A wire coil is connected to split ring and rotated between two permanent
magnets. The approximate value of the critical resistance of the shunt circuit iii. When the armature is
rotated, some e.m.f. and hence some induced current is produced which is partly or fully passed
through the field coils thereby strengthening the residual pole flux. This causes the flux in the
machine to decrease; decreasing EA. Working Principle The coil sides AB and CD now represent by
A and B as shown in Fig.2.9. Imagine the coil to be rotating in clock-wise direction. The direction of
induced e.m.f. (or current) is given by Fleming’s right-hand rule. Unidirectional Current Generation
We find that the current which is obtained from a simple generator reverses its direction after every
half revolution. We need to bring power to the front-end There is a significant power drop in the
cables Limited space and material budget Low voltages required by modern electronics. The current
from the generator continuously changes its direction such a current is an alternating current or AC.
Due to the high flux density at pole tip B, saturation sets in. The machine is required to provide a
terminal voltage of 100 V at no load as well as at full load. (i.e. zero voltage regulation) by
cumulatively compounding the generator. Each commutator segments is connected to the armature
conductor by means of a copper lug or strip (or riser). In these type of machines field coils are
internally connected with the armature. Also around the core may be found a few turns of heavy
wire. It does turn on and off, but it never reverses polarity. Pertama, energi ditransfer melalui suatu

Generator Fuels Generators are powered by diesel, gasoline, propane and natural gas. The number of
segments is equal to the number of armature coils. The ends of the armature loop are connected to
rings called SLIP RINGS. This is done by spinning a armature through a magnetic field. The transfer
of the coil from one slot to another is usually made in a radial plane by means of a particular bend or
twist at the back end. The basic principle underlying construction and working of an actual generator

10 Term. Here, the current does not change the direction in the external circuit and is referred to as a
DC Generator.
Note that e.m.f. generated in the loop is alternating one which thus forms alternating voltage and if
the load is connected then alternating current will flow through the load. You induce an
electromagnetic current with the use of a magnet and a solenoid. So, for a given number of poles
and armature conductors, the wave winding gives more e.m.f. than the lap winding. Figure (C)
shows that a commutator has two segments namely C1 and C2 separated by a thin sheet of mica. The
polarity of a D.C. generator can be reversed by A) increasing field current B) reversing the field

Hence, the direction of the current in every armature will be alternating. The spark can burn the
brushes and cause the commutator to overheat and carbonize. 7. Brushes The propose of brushes is
to ensure electrical connection between the rotating commutator and stationary external load circuit.

superimposing ? 1 and ? 2, so we get the resulting flux ? 3 (See figure-3). Repeat (ii), assuming that
the effect of armature reaction at full load is equivalent to 0.05 field amperes iv. Determine the
critical resistance v. In Figure (D), the coil sides AB which is connected to segment C1 is under N-
pole and similarly, the coil sides CD which is connected to segment C2 is under S-pole. The open-
circuit voltage of a compound generator is 250 V. To reduce this loss, the armature core is built up of
thin laminations insulated from each other by a thin layer of varnish.
Some part of input power gets wasted in various forms. In a DC machine, the losses are broadly
classified into four types. No other external source is required for the purpose of emf generation. As
a result, of this, the generated voltage Ea increases. The classification of DC generator is shown as
follows:. Fig. 26.41. Equivalent Circuit of separately-excited generator. The field resistance of the
machine is adjusted to 354.5 ? and the speed is 300 rpm. Hence, two basic essential parts of an
electrical generator are: (a) A magnetic field, and (b) A conductor or conductors, which can so move
as to cut the flux. In a separately excited generator supplying rated load the armature reaction A) is

Referring to Fig-3, it is clear that flux density at the trailing pole tip (point B) is increase while at the
leading pole tip (point A), it is decrease. In many applications of dc generators, knowledge of the
variation of the terminal voltage with load current is essential. There are two types of simple drum
windings, and they are Simple lap winding Simple wave winding Let us understand about them in
detail. The curve becomes almost horizontal at the end when the magnetic circuit becomes fully
saturated. If the series field winding opposes the shunt field winding then it is a differential

be subdivided into constant losses variable losses Constant losses Those losses in a DC generator
which remain constant at all loads are known as constant losses. To attach a coil of wire and place it
inside a magnetic field as the coil starts rotating, the wire starts moving up and down inside the
magnetic field that produces the electric current these devices are called Electrical Generators.
Determine the critical speed for the given field resistance vi. Previous Fig. (a) can simply be drawn
as Fig. 2.10. While the coil moves from position 1 to position 2, the brushes remain in contact with
the split-ring segments and the current direction remains as indicated although the magnitude

which produces Alternating Power whereas DC generator works with Direct current which gives out
Direct power. The figure which depicts Long shunt and short shunt generators are shown below.
When commutation occurs, the coil passing through the commutation is short-circuited by the
brushes. There are stationary brushes connected to the load. The working principle of an electric
generator is based on the principle of the faradays law of electromagnetic induction, it states that
whenever a conductor is placed in a moving magnetic field, an e.m.f. is induced in a conductor
which will cause a current to flow in the conductor, provided the circuit has to be closed circuit. They
are connected in the same manner at the interpole windings but are located in axial slots of the field
shoes. In the generators without compensating windings, an increase in IAcauses an increase in the
armature reaction, and armature reaction causes flux weakening. This alternating current is made
unidirectional with the help of the Commutator.
The function of pole shoes in the case of the D.C. machine is A) to spread out the flux to achieve
uniform flux density B) to reduce the reluctance of the magnetic path C) to discharge all the above
functions D) to support the field coil 110. In D.C. generators, the brushes remain in contact with

such a way that the conductor cuts across magnetic lines of flux, voltage is generated in the
conductor. At that point, the resistive drop is the predominant effect, and VT starts to fall. The yoke
is made of solid cast steel whereas the pole pieces are composed of stacked laminations. (ii)
Armature core The armature core is mounted to the machine shaft and rotates between the field
poles. Therefore, only a part of armature current flows through shunt field winding and the rest
flows through the load. A combination of these two types of generators can overcome the
disadvantages of both. These losses are categorized into two losses as Hysteresis loss and Eddy
current loss. Note that e.m.f. generated in the loop is alternating one which thus forms alternating
voltage and if the load is connected then alternating current will flow through the load. What are the

each other by thin layers of mica. At position 2, the voltage induced in the coil is at a maximum
because the conductors are moving at right angles to the lines of flux. The energy conversion in
generator is based on the principle of the production of dynamically induced emf. Whenever flux cut
by a conductor or a group of conductor an emf is induced according to Faraday’s law of
electromagnetic induction and due to this induced emf a current is flow through the circuit if the
whole circuit is closed. Now, for every half a rotation the current also reverses. If residual magnetism
